jw how much power i "should" make to the wheels on this setup...i kno i will find out on the dyno but i'm anxious
to get an idea, my guess is 160whp-180whp lmk what u all think.
-stock d16z6
-ebay/homemade turbo kit
-7psi
-stock cat, 2.5" downpipe to full megan catback (2.3")
-dsm 450cc injectors with an apexi afc-2 for fuel management

 

Your goals are possible

 

^ his afc will make it much more difficult. Scrap that thing. Youll save yourself some money in the end.

 

Should be more like how reliable will my setup be...If you're going the ebay route as posted forget it being reliable for awhile. Dont cut corners. It will cost more..but in the end it pays off.

 

i've heard of the afc controllers working well if tuned properly...this guy i kno has been runnin on one for like
2 yrs on a d15b7...anyways i will eventually tune it and up the psi to 8 or 9. i want 200whp dd

 

it's just gonna be a slow process due to bills and such, and i'm the type of person who hates to wait for things...sucks i kno but i can't help it

 

if it blows i'll just ls swap it, my buddies got some layin around for cheap so we'll just have to c what happens i guess

 

ive tuned on afc's before. they're not the best way of tuning but they work in a crude way

 

There have been ebay turbo's last for 3 years and everything. Just luck of the draw, I had one but it messed up in a week and a half.. was glad I got it though, because it gave me something to start with .
